Depp's lawyer Camille Vasquez, on the other hand, said that it was disappointing that Heard's team called the victory a blow to the MeToo movement. She said that every question asked during the trial was based on what Heard had previously said. "We encourage any victims to come forward. Domestic violence doesn't have a gender," she told the Post.
Meanwhile, Depp spent over $62,000 or Rs 48.22 lakh for a special celebratory curry dinner with his musician friend Jeff Beck and around 20 guests on Sunday evening in Birmingham, England. The actor indulged in a feast of "authentic Indian cuisine," cocktails and rose champagne at the Varanasi restaurant, which serves "heavenly recipes and soothing ambience."
